Short description: Glaucoma NEC. ICD-9-CM 365.89 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 365.89 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or ...

Coma codes, including the unspecified coma code, are MCCs; Obtundation is not indexed (i.e., no code) Stupor (R40.1), somnolence/drowsiness (R40.0) and lethargy (R53.83) are non-CCs; While the Glasgow Coma Scale can no longer be reported in non-trauma cases, coma can be and is an MCC.
Coding for Glaucoma. Glaucoma (ICD-9-CM category 365) is a group of conditions resulting in optic nerve damage caused by increased intraocular pressure. It can cause a gradual progression of vision loss if left untreated.
5 Glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders.
A condition in which there is a build-up of fluid in the eye, which presses on the retina and the optic nerve.
ICD-10 code H40. 1133 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, bilateral, severe stage is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
ICD-10 code H40. 113 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
The ICD-10 code sets include greater detail, changes in terminology, and expanded concepts for injuries, laterality, and other related factors. The complexity of ICD-10 provides many benefits because of the increased level of detail conveyed in the codes.

Although 304 ICD-10 codes contain the word glaucoma, only one exists for glaucoma suspect (H40. 0).
Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye, mild stage H40. 1111 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H40. 1111 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Diagnosis is by ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy, visual field examination, and measurement of central corneal thickness and IOP. Treatment includes topical drugs (eg, prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers) and often requires laser or incisional surgery to increase aqueous drainage.
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. The drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked. This causes pressure in the eye to gradually increase. This pressure damages the optic nerve.
A visual evoked potential or evoked response is an electrical potential recorded from the nervous system of a human following presentation of a visual stimulus. Use to evaluate the following:
NeovascularGlaucoma (NVG) is a severe form caused by the abnormal formation of new blood vessels on the iris and over the eye's drainage channels. Rarely occurring on its own, it is always associated with other abnormalities, most often diabetes. The new blood vessels block the eye’s fluid from exiting through the trabecular meshwork, causing an increase in eye pressure (365.63/H40.89 [Other specified glaucoma])
Pseudoexfoliationsyndrome is a systemic disorder in which a flaky, dandruff-like material peels off the outer layer of the lens within the eye. Worldwide, it is a common cause of secondary glaucoma.
The Baltimore Eye Study proved that glaucoma can be hard to diagnose. 50% of all people found to have glaucoma during the study had seen an eye doctor within the past year and were unaware that they had glaucoma.
Tonometry is considered serial when you measure IOP at least three separate times during the course of a single day. This test is most commonly used in patients who have suspected
Most often performed in a neurologist office some optometrists, nationwide, are using this technology. It is reimbursed by Medicare and other insurance carriers. Recently the Texas Optometric Association conducted a seminar on the topic. The full presentation is available at:
